medjayIn function, the guards of the western deserts. Traditionally, the name was attached to the specific tribe of nomads who operated between Nubia and Egypt in the western deserts. They pledged fealty to the Egyptians during the Hyksos period, as they were the ones who intercepted the well-known letter between the Nubians and Hyksos which formed the alliance against Kamose at the beginning of the 18th Dynasty. In reward, Kamose rewarded the Medjay by making them part of the royal guards for sacred lands. Not quite police, not simply security, the Medjay were a quasi-paramilitary force dedicated strictly to royal house concerns (Sources: Lacovara and Markowitz. 2000. Crime and Punishment.
